It's the first day of spring tomorrow and I realized I never even posted anything from my travels from last summer, fall, or winter! I'm also dyyiinngg for warmer weather and trying my best not to succumb to seasonal affective disorder with the forecast of yet another snow storm. 😱 So here's a photo of sunny L.A. ☀️ with some of my favorite things on the planet 🌴🌴🌴

This week has been freaking nuts!! 🥜 so many good byes and even more to come. Michaels play ended, one of our housemates moved out, and we are getting ready to move on as well (LOTS of travel coming soon!!).✈️🌏🇳🇿🇺🇸 🇻🇳

Saying goodbye never gets easier. It’s something every traveler has to do (& we have to do it often 😭). It seems like it would be something that you could get better at, but the more time you spend at a job or living with someone or spending time with someone in one place, the harder it gets to part ways. Many travellers have told me that they sometimes feel like they will reach out less, because that way they don’t get attached and have to say goodbye. I always thought I would never be like that or do that, but now that my time in Auckland is coming to an end, I do wonder a bit if I avoided making friends because the good byes are getting too hard (tbh I am still sad that I’ve barely seen my Chiang Mai tribe since I left over 1.5 years ago - I MISS YOU @psychotraveller @scottydoes1 @madelynmoon @kirkjohnson808 @chrihagen ). Goodbyes are now see-you-laters, but when your friends are all over the world, it’s hard to know when you’ll see them again. This is one of the many reasons I’ve decided to slow down and create my own little home and community in Sydney. I am so looking forward to having a group of friends in one place, a home to come back to (with a kick ass coffee maker, blender, and a MASSIVE world map), and having the local barista know my coffee order, and making friends with the yoga and photography and vegan communities there.

So while we prepare for our departure from Auckland, we have so much to look forward to. Life is whatever you make it, and when something isn’t working for you anymore, fix it!! ☀️

This morning we woke up super early (to get that cheap flight) and travelled to the next country on our list... Ireland 🌎

This is the Basil Sheils Bar and Lounge. We are staying above the bar for the next few days, while we explore some of Northern Ireland 😁 #excited
